Derrell and Jeff,

Thanks for the info.  My suspicions are proven true, machining metal at this level sounds like a hobby within the hobby (or a profession for some).  I googled "Actuarial Table", entered my DOB and calculate that I have neither the time or funds for this endeavor.

So, the projects requiring the Cooke domes have gone back into the Overland green boxes and back into the closet for now, so I can concentrate on actually completing one of several ongoing projects.  I'll just be patient, perhaps they will turn up some day, available in some medium.

I'm also forewarned about Micromark products (all I've ever purchased from them is a couple of replacement Paasche airbrushes when they were on sale).  From now on the catalog goes straight from the mailbox to the recycling bin, with the other junk mail.
